Strategy purchased 34,164 Bitcoin for $2.54 billion between April 13 and 19, according to an 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission made public on Monday. By coin count, the transaction is the company’s third-greatest Bitcoin purchase.

The filing also highlights records set by STRC last week under its at-the-market (ATM) program. On April 13, STRC Live reported trading volume above $1 billion. The ATM program sold 11.9 million shares, a new daily record, equivalent to about 7,741 BTC.
The next day, the ATM program sold an estimated 14.4 million shares. Combined, the two days totaled 17,204 BTC, representing a 518% increase compared with the four-week average.
